Damascus Steel Hunting Knife — Olive Wood & Zebrawood Handle | Leather Sheath

Damascus Steel Hunting Knife — Olive Wood & Zebrawood Handle

Two woods. One blade. The kind of knife you pick up and don't want to put down.

The blade is hand-forged Damascus steel — layers of high-carbon steel folded and drawn until the pattern runs deep through the metal. The handle pairs olive wood with zebrawood, pinned with brass and shaped to sit naturally in the hand. The embossed leather sheath has a snap closure and belt loop, ready for daily carry from day one.

Every piece is made by hand. No two are identical.

Complete Specifications

The Blade — Hand-Forged Damascus Steel

Damascus steel starts as alternating layers of high-carbon and low-carbon steel, forge-welded at high heat and worked repeatedly until the layers number in the hundreds. The pattern that results — flowing, organic, never repeated — is not applied to the surface. It runs through the steel itself.

At 58–60 HRC, the blade holds a sharp working edge through sustained outdoor use. The drop point profile keeps the tip strong for piercing while the curved belly handles slicing and field dressing tasks cleanly.

The Handle — Olive Wood & Zebrawood

Olive wood is dense, hard, and naturally resistant to moisture — one of the oldest handle materials in knife making. The grain runs in warm golden tones with natural variation that makes every piece different. Zebrawood adds contrast with its bold dark striping, and the brass pins lock the scales firmly to the full tang.

The result is a handle that looks like it belongs in a display case and feels like it belongs in the field.

The Sheath — Embossed Leather

The brown leather sheath is embossed with a decorative pattern and hand-stitched with cream thread. A snap closure keeps the blade secure, and the belt loop supports standard carry. The leather will develop a rich patina with use — it gets better over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the wood handle real?
Yes. Natural olive wood and zebrawood — not synthetic, not resin. Each handle is unique in grain and color.

Q: What is full tang construction?
Full tang means the blade steel runs the full length of the handle. It is the strongest construction method for a fixed blade knife — no weak joint, no flex under hard use.

Q: Does Damascus steel rust?
Damascus contains high-carbon steel and can develop surface spots if left wet. Dry the blade after use and apply a light coat of oil to keep it in top condition.

Q: Does it come with the leather sheath?
Yes. Every knife ships with the embossed brown leather sheath shown in the photos.

Q: Is this knife suitable for field dressing?
Yes. The drop point blade profile and full tang construction make this a capable field dressing and outdoor knife.
